Chapter 278: Luanfu Birthday Banquet
At the end of the day, all the guests at the night banquet were gone.
Xiangfu regained its tranquility.
In the jade disturbance courtyard, in a clearing surrounded by green bamboo, Xiangyu's face was slightly drunk, and he was lying on the bamboo rattan chair that Xiangqian used on weekdays to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
The rich aroma of wine lingered around him, which had already covered the perennial fragrance of light tea.
The sound of cicadas has stopped for some time, and occasionally the night breeze rushes in between the bamboo forests, and as soon as Xiangyu's body moves slightly, it immediately attracts Yin Heng, who is standing a few steps away, to approach.
The raccoon slave is busy in the front yard at this time, and he needs to deal with some trivial matters after the night banquet, so he will serve Xiangyu and Yin Heng will do it for him for the time being.
Yin Heng squatted on the ground, one knee propped up on the ground, and he asked softly, "Childe, do you want to move to the bedroom to rest?"
Xiangyu's eyes slowly opened: "It's okay." ”
Yin Heng hurriedly got up, helped him up from the rattan chair, and the two slowly walked out of the bamboo forest and headed towards the bedroom.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, only the sound of footsteps moving slowly.
Staying in the bedroom, Yin Heng waited for Xiangyu to go to bed and lie down, after he covered Xiangyu with the futon, he just wanted to leave, but suddenly heard Xiangyu say: "Yongzhan, the sword spike on your ebony sword was given by your favorite woman?"
Yin Heng's body was stunned, and he immediately felt a little weak.
He pondered for a moment or two, slowly turned around, bowed and replied, "...... Be. ”
"Sometimes, I envy you like that. Xiangyu said this in a very light tone.
"Who's girl?" he asked again.
Yin Heng was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
He went through some entanglement in his heart, and finally made a decision, he didn't want to deceive Xiangyu, so he could only tell Xiangyu the truth about his lifelong agreement with Qiu Yunruo.
Yin Heng puffed up, raised his head, and was about to confide in Xiangyu, but when his eyes just touched the person on the bed, he saw that Xiangyu had already fallen asleep, and he made an extremely shallow breathing sound.
Yin Heng's courage suddenly unloaded his whole body, and he couldn't help but show a wry smile.
On the second day after the end of the night banquet of the Xiang clan, the families of the marriageable women in the Xiang clan began to move.
Through various channels and relationships, they wanted to let their daughter enter Xiangyu's blue eyes, so that Xiangyu was selected by Xiangyu to become the future patriarch's wife of the Xiang clan and the most honorable woman in Yin'an.
Today, in order to compete for the best silk, tomorrow will be the first to win the love of Xiangqian who goes out to play with prosperity, and the day after tomorrow he deliberately creates a chance encounter with the noble son to gather in Xiangyu.
Every day, every moment, is a good show.
After making a fuss like this for a while, after a few days, among the eight noble girls of the right age to be married, only three are expected to become candidates for the fiancée in Xiangyu's heart-
Luan embroidery, Hantang pear and Hanyu.
Among the three, the highest voice is naturally Yin'an's first beauty, Hantang pear.
And among the other five, they were either made ugly in front of Xiangyu because they secretly designed each other, or they were not worthy of Xiangyu because they were born with mediocre internal and external qualifications, or they were all eliminated because the clan status behind them was too low.
Speaking of the three candidates, when the other nobles rushed to show their faces in front of Xiangyu, their houses were quiet and did not make any moves.
On this day, Luan Jing, the patriarch of the Luan clan, celebrated his 70th birthday, and early in the morning, Xiangyu took the moon fence and the raccoon slave, and ordered someone to bring a car of congratulatory gifts and rushed to Luanfu to celebrate Luanjing's birthday.
This is the first time that Yueli has come to Luanfu, after entering the gate, there are small bridges in the winding water, weeping willow pavilions nearby, lotus roots in the Bihu Lake in the distance, and children in the house who are frolicking on it, and it is a summer mood to come to the face.
Originally, Xiangyu didn't plan to take Yueli out today, just because her identity was too ostentatious, but Yueli waited on the bamboo forest path that Xiangyu passed on the way out, and begged Xiangyu to take her with her in a coquettish tone.
Xiangyu couldn't take her, so he took her with him.
When arriving at the main hall, Yueli saw at a glance that on the high hall in front of him, there was a big word "Shou", and the couches in the hall were already full of guests, all of them were richly dressed, and their faces were full of joy, but as soon as they saw anyone in the Luan Mansion, they kept saying congratulations in their mouths.
Yue Li's eyes swept around, looking at the furnishings in the hall, and saw that every piece of porcelain and jade exposed outside was transparent and uniform in color, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance.
It is worthy of being the richest clan in Yin'an, and usually the clan family has at most one or two pieces, but this one is good, and there is no vulgar product everywhere in the corners.
"Knock to see Childe!" The moment after Yueli followed Xiangyu into the door, everyone in the hall bowed to the ground, and the noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
"Get up. Xiangyu raised his hand, and everyone stood up.
Luan Jing was dressed in a festive red ingot-patterned satin dress, and was helped out of the crowd by Luan Feng'an and Chen, who were also dressed in joy, and greeted Xiangyu: "The son actually deigned to be here today, which really makes my Luanfu Pengsheng shine." ”
Luanjing has entered the ancient rare, but it looks like he is in good spirits, a pair of cloudy old eyes are bright, although he looks kind at the moment, but his eyes still reveal a few traces of shrewdness and awe-inspiring, at a glance, he knows that he is a very city and majestic elder.
Yueli has only seen Luanjing once or twice, and the first time she saw her was at the boat banquet held on Lubo Lake.
He had a good impression of this old man at that time, when Han Tao asked Xiangyu for the blood of the ancestor in her body, he also criticized Han Tao's words and deeds in the middle.
"Old Patriarch Luan's body is still strong?" Xiangyu asked with a smile on his face, holding Luanjing's bowed body.
"Thanks to the blessing of the son, the old man can eat dry meals three nights a day, and he walks with the wind under his feet, in order to serve the son and the Xiang family, the old man will be able to live with the Luan family for decades. "Luanjing is in a very good mood today, and when he talks, he is a little more interesting and less serious than usual.
Today's occasion is not so serious, and since it is a happy event, it is better to have a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Therefore, as soon as Luanjing's words came out, everyone ridiculed, saying that he was worthy of being the patriarch of Luan, and he should be strong and strong, guarding such a big mountain of wealth and wealth as Luanfu, he should indeed live for a few more decades and enjoy all the blessings.
Everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere was very happy.
"Old Patriarch Luan, I wish you a long and blessed life, and the pines and cypresses are shoulder to shoulder. Yueli gave Luanjing a lot of face, and took the initiative to say a word of congratulations.
All the Luan people, including Luanjing, were a little surprised, obviously they didn't expect Yueli to treat Luanjing so politely, it was really because of what she said and did these days, as well as her presumptuous in front of Xiangyu, everyone had heard of it slightly, and everyone originally thought that she would be Amitabha Buddha if she didn't make trouble, and they didn't expect her to be the icing on the cake just now.
But now that this stroke has fallen, Luanjing will naturally suffer it, the look of surprise on his face disappeared instantly, and he responded with a smile: "Then thank you Miss Yueli." ”
The moon fence bowed to him, and in this way, the number of rituals was complete.
